Porting WPF Applications to the Microsoft Surface February 18, '09 Comments [5] Posted in BabySmash | Windows Client | WPF Sponsored By What do you need to get through the Great Depression 2.0? Why, a giant computing table, of course! Sadly, the Surface SDK isn't available to folks without a real Surface (which, I say, is a bummer) so I can only tell you that developing for it is awesome. Lame, yes, I know. I can't get you the SDK (yet?) or a Surface (I'm broke) but I can tell you what developing for it was like. Of course, if you DO have an extra US$15,000 lying around, why not let your baby sit on it? That's my thinking. BabySmash (Code and DevCenter here) has been on hold over the holidays, although I have a lot of big plans once I get on the other side of the Mix conference. One of the things I talked about at my PDC BabySmash talk (WMV) was porting BabySmash to the Surface. BabySmash is a simple WPF application that responds to keyboard and mouse input. Since there's no keyboard or mouse in the standard Surface configuration, I wanted to see how had it would be to port it. I had to deal with these changes in thinking: Orientation matters. People might be sitting on opposite sides of the Surface No mouse or keyboard. Many people can touch it at once. Multifinger resizing. Folks expect to be able to multitouch a Surface and resize items, throw them around, etc. Different application launcher model. The Surface needs an XML manifest and special icons for its launcher. Other than these changes, a Surface app is still .NET WPF app, so I wasn't too worried. Surface Simulator The first step was to install the Surface Simulator. It only works on 32-bit Vista, so I had to go make myself a 32-bit machine (I'm all 64-bitted up. FTW!) which was a tiny hassle. (Although there ARE some Vista 64 Surface Simulator hacks) The Simulator is exactly what it sounds like. It's not "emulating" however, as a Surface is still a Vista machine underneath. It's more of a frame and some mouse input management to handle multiple mice and make them look like multiple fingers. This works surprisingly well. In the PDC talk, about halfway in, I plugged in three mice, plus the built in touchpad and had multiple virtual "fingers" moving items around the screen. You create your Surface app as you would a WPF app from File | New Project, hit START and it fires up the Simulator and frames up the WPF app. Now in my case, I already had an existing WPF application, so I needed to change the type my main Window derived from from "Window" to "SurfaceWindow" and I added an assembly reference and a few namespaces: using Microsoft.Surface;using Microsoft.Surface.Presentation;using Microsoft.Surface.Presentation.Controls; This base class adds adds all the Surfacey goodness and events and properties that my Window will need. "ContactDown rather than KeyDown and MouseDown I added an event for "Contact_Down" rather than watching for keyboard events and mouse clicks that would never come. private void SurfaceWindow_ContactDown(object sender, ContactEventArgs e){ controller.AddFigure(this, " ", e.GetPosition(mainGrid).X, e.GetPosition(mainGrid).Y);} BabySmash uses an MVC model, so I'm taking the input from the View and immediately delegating to a main controller object that handles everything. Orientation Your app can let the system decide which side of the Surface table the user is sitting on when it starts up. This isn't a huge deal with BabySmash, since it's just shapes, but still there's some text on the screen so I wanted the app to be right-side-up when appropriate. There are a bunch of new properties on a SurfaceWindow, and one is: AutoOrientsOnStartup="True" This changed the orientation of my entire application, basically turning it upside down when need-be. This did mean that I couldn't use any low-level X and Y APIs, otherwise the coords would be "lost in translation." As long as I stuck with high-level stuff like "GetPosition" to pull my X and Y's out, the Surface SDK would handle translation and everything just worked. Application Launcher Manifest I needed to create a few icons for my app to live in the Surface Launcher and a manifest. There's other options I didn't use, as well as ways to create animated icons, or to have your application run as an "attract mode" app, to get folks wandering by to stop and touch the Surface. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><ss:ApplicationInfo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ss="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Surface/2007/ApplicationMetadata"> <Application> <Title>BabySmash!</Title> <Description>BabySmash! for Surface</Description> <ExecutableFile>c:\BabySurface\BabySurface.exe</ExecutableFile> <Arguments></Arguments> <IconImageFile>c:\BabySurface\Resources\icon.png</IconImageFile> <Preview> <PreviewImageFile>c:\BabySurface\iconPreview.png</PreviewImageFile> </Preview> </Application></ss:ApplicationInfo> ScatterView In the original BabySmash app I had a canvas that would hold all the shapes and letters, but I wanted things to be more Surface-like in this (hacked-together) BabySurface version. public void AddFigure(UserControl c, double x, double y){ this.figuresCanvas.Children.Add(c);} Fortunately there's a control called a ScatterView that makes throwing stuff on the Surface insanely easy. For example: <s:SurfaceWindow xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:s="http://schemas.microsoft.com/surface/presentation"> <s:ScatterView> <Image Source="Toco Toucan.jpg"/> <Image Source="Green Sea Turtle.jpg"/> <Image Source="Desert Landscape.jpg"/> </s:ScatterView></s:SurfaceWindow> From their blog (here's a video of the Surface SDK in action): ScatterView is a custom ItemsControl in our SDK which apps can databind or populate with any type of content. Simply sticking some Image elements in it gives you a basic Photos-like app without writing any code. By baking common manipulations into WPF SDK controls like this, we're able to free developers up to focus on things that are unique to their apps while designers use Blend to add some custom pizazz. I changed my AddFigure method to put the new shapes in a ScatterView. I also hooked up a "ContactLeave" event to the new item so that the application would giggle when you lift your finger. public void AddFigure(UserControl c, double x, double y){ var s = new ScatterViewItem(); s.Content = c; s.ContactLeave += new ContactEventHandler(s_ContactLeave); this.figureScatterView.Items.Add(s);} This was cool, but it had a few issues. First, the ScatterView puts everything in a "Polaroid" border by default: The result was that my BabySmash shapes were inside a Photo Border. Easily removed with a custom style that marked a few properties as {x:Null}: <Style x:Key="ScatterViewItemBabySmashStyle" TargetType="{x:Type s:ScatterViewItem}"> <Setter Property="Background" Value="{x:Null}"/> <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{x:Null}"/> <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{x:Null}"/>... The second issue was that while my BabySmash shapes were draggable and scattered nicely, they weren't resizable. Well, they WERE, except when you resized them, you were resizing the container - that is, resizing the now-invisible Polaroid border. I needed a box to put the shapes in that would effectively lie to the inner control and scale/size them as the outside scaled and resized. Enter the ViewBox, including with WPF. public void AddFigure(UserControl c, double x, double y){ var s = new ScatterViewItem(); s.Center = new Point(x, y); s.Style = this.Resources["ScatterViewItemBabySmashStyle"] as Style; Viewbox v = new Viewbox(); v.Child = c; s.Content = v; s.ContactLeave += new ContactEventHandler(s_ContactLeave); this.figureScatterView.Items.Add(s);} I put the Control in the ViewBox, and put the ViewBox+Control in a ScatterViewItem. Bam, resizable, scattered BabySmash shapes. I also got dragging and inertia (physics) for free so you, ahem, the baby, can spin and throw shapes around as well. This development was all done on the simulator. I never saw a real Surface until I got to PDC last year. The app ran exactly as should. I was a little worried that the real Surface was somehow different, but not so. That was a huge relief. If you have a very visual, shape oriented application that could benefit from touch and a big screen, porting it to the Surface isn't rocket science. Definitely check out the PC17 "Developing for Microsoft Surface" talk from PDC. There's a lot of good stuff in the PPT as well with insights into how Multitouch is going to work in .NET 4.0 and Windows 7 and how work on Surface now is driving that future. And really, who WOULDN'T want a Big Ass Table? I, for one, would like one for the living room. ;) Related Links PC17 "Developing for Microsoft Surface" talk from PDC PDC BabySmash talk BabySmash DevCenter or Install BabySmash Learn more about Surface About Scott Scott Hanselman is a former professor, former Chief Architect in finance, now speaker, consultant, father, diabetic, and Microsoft employee.

PDC 2008: BabySmash Preparations October 26, '08 Comments [16] Posted in BabySmash | PDC Sponsored By As I've mentioned before, I've got a talk at PDC this year, it's "TL49" and it's called "Microsoft .NET Framework: Overview and Applications for Babies." It's on Monday at 5:15pm in Room 411. The baby aspect is really secondary, mostly because BabySmash (and what I do with it in the talk) is Not Northwind. This was the strangest Microsoft talk I could sneak past the bosses without them noticing. It also crosses over into other talks and many other products that I'll mention as the week goes on. Stressful times...I'm nervous because: I've never tried to do some many complex and intertwining demos at once. I've never had so many people help out to make it all happen. It may suck. I've got like 7 hours of content to fit in 75 minutes. I've forgotten completely what I'm talking about. ;) I hope enough people show up. Starting to get the pre-show jitters! Here's a teaser of what we were able to accomplish at Tim Huckaby's Party tonight in San Diego. More soon! (That's Clemens Vaster's daughter and yes that's what you think it is. Tim has one at his house. Crazy.) See you at PDC!

Firefox, ClickOnce, XBAPs and .NET 3.5 SP1 September 5, '08 Comments [3] Posted in ASP.NET | BabySmash | Musings | Tools | Windows Client | WPF Sponsored By One of the things that I noticed immediately when I made the SmallestDotNet was that Firefox was reporting the version of the .NET Framework installed. There's a Firefox extension that is installed with .NET 3.5SP1. I was stoked about this because I'd like users of BabySmash to be able to use ClickOnce from Firefox to launch it. ClickOnce and Firefox When you install .NET Framework 3.5SP1, there's a key written to the registry whether Firefox is installed or not. If Firefox is installed later, it will notice the key and use the plugin. If it's already installed, it'll just work. The registry key points to a Firefox Extension (XPI) that acts like the 3rd party FFClickOnce extension that a lot of us installed before. The registry key is at HKLM:\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions This Firefox Addin helps ClickOnce applications work from inside of Firefox 2 or Firefox 3. It'll be installed with any installation of .NET 3.5 SP1, including the smaller Client Profile. The add-in looks like this... And its options dialog looks like this: On my system the Firefox UserAgent now looks like this: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:22.214.171.124) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) By default, as you can see in the dialog, the browser will report just the most recent version of the .NET Framework unless you say otherwise. What happens if the FFClickOnce extension is already installed? In Firefox 3 the FFClickOnce add on will automatically get disabled as it has not been updated. In Firefox 2 the FFClickOnce extension does not alter the user agent string due to a safeguard against creating a user agent greater than 128 characters. What happens when the user clicks on a .application link is dependent on the user's configuration. For Firefox 2.0 this is the table of possible prompting/launching configurations. The default for each add-on is marked in bold. .NET Assistant FFClickOnce Result No Prompt Prompt FFClickOnce prompts and handles the click No Prompt No Prompt FFClickOnce handles the click Prompt Prompt .NET Assistant prompts and handles the click Prompt No Prompt FFClickOnce handles the click When both add-ons are in the default configuration the user will get the FFClickOnce prompt and click once activation will follow the FFClickOnce path which may bypass IE download policy. In all cases the normal ClickOnce UI will be shown. What this all means is that ClickOnce will work in FireFox 2 and 3, whether FFClickOnce is installed or not. How's it done? The plugin is written with standard XUL (pronounced zoo-el) via XML and JS. As an aside, I think it's cool that the XML namespace for XUL is:http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul You can go find the plugin yourself in: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Windows Presentation Foundation\DotNetAssistantExtension It's a .jar file, and you can copy it out and rename it .zip and open it up. The basic gist is that the plugin watches for a particular MIMEType and application, and if it matches, it launches the ClickOnce application using the the .NET Framework's PresentationHost.exe.isClickOnce: function(){ var mimeInfo = dialog.mLauncher.MIMEInfo; // Checking the file extension may be second guessing the webserver // but when 'prompt' is set the user will still have a save button. if (mimeInfo.MIMEType == "application/x-ms-application" || mimeInfo.primaryExtension == "application") { return true; } return false;},launch_application: function(){ this.execute(this.getSystem32Dir() + \\PresentationHost.exe, "-LaunchApplication " + dialog.mLauncher.source.spec); dialog.mDialog.close();} It's not too complex, and it's sure nice that BabySmash users can use ClickOnce to launch the smash. XBAP XBAPs, or XAML Browser Applications are also enabled in Firefox in .NET 3.5 using the standard NPAPI browser plugin API. The NPWPF.dll enables XBAPs under Firefox. XBAPs are WPF applications that run inside the Browser's Chrome. They're good for Intranet applications where you want really easy deployment, the complete .NET Framework (as opposed to Silverlight) and a browser's navigational model. If you type in about:plugins in Firefox, you can get a list, including this one: Notice the MIME Types that this plugin has registered for and the extensions (suffixes) it handles. Each of these plugins are automatically installed and enabled when you install the .NET Framework 3.5SP1, so you can count on them. Thanks to Eric Harding, Troy Martez and Jennifer Lee for helping me pull this information together. They're going to be adding more content to the Windows Client website very soon with more details how for developers to package and use the .NET Client Profile. They'll also be releasing lots of documentation and details on ClickOnce and deployment improvements in the framework. I'll point you to everything I can dig up, Dear Reader, as soon as I can.

Learning WPF with BabySmash - Manually Managing ClickOnce and some more Designer Goodness August 1, '08 Comments [22] Posted in BabySmash | Windows Client | WPF Sponsored By NOTE: If you haven't read the first post in this series, I would encourage you do to that first, or check out the BabySmash category. Also check out http://windowsclient.net/ for more developer info on WPF. BACKGROUND: This is one of a series of posts on learning WPF. I wrote an application for my 2 year old using WPF, but as I'm a Win32-minded programmer, my working app is full of Win32-isms. It's not a good example of a WPF application even though it uses the technology. I'm calling on community (that's you, Dear Reader) to blog about your solutions to different (horrible) selections of my code. You can get the code http://www.codeplex.com/babysmash. Post your solutions on your blog, in the comments, or in the Feedback and we'll all learn WPF together. Pick a single line, a section, or subsystem or the whole app! One of the pieces of feedback on BabySmash! was that even though people like that the application automatically updates (via ClickOnce) when they sit down to play BabySmash! their babies want to play it NOW. They didn't like that it tries to update itself when you launch it. When you setup a ClickOnce application, you get a few choices. You can have the application check for updates before it starts and applying updates before it starts, or you can have it check after it starts and install the updates the next time it starts up. Or, you can say Don't Check For Updates. I personally find this dialog a little confusing. What this really means is "I'll check manually in code." At this point, I'm still deploying my app as a ClickOnce app, but now the actual updating is up to me. I used to pop up the Options dialog every time the app started, but again, folks complained, so I had to figure out a way to let them know that an update is available without "stopping the action." When the app starts up now, it fires of a call to CheckForUpdateAsync from inside System.Deployment.Application and listens for a response. This happens in the background (hence "async"): if (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed){ ApplicationDeployment deployment = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment; deployment.CheckForUpdateCompleted += deployment_CheckForUpdateCompleted; try { deployment.CheckForUpdateAsync(); } catch (InvalidOperationException e) { Debug.WriteLine(e.ToString()); }} If there is an update, I show a label in each MainWindow: void deployment_CheckForUpdateCompleted(object sender, CheckForUpdateCompletedEventArgs e){ ClickOnceUpdateAvailable = e.UpdateAvailable; if (ClickOnceUpdateAvailable) { foreach (MainWindow m in this.windows) { m.UpdateAvailableLabel.Visibility = Visibility.Visible; } }} The label is really simple, just a label with a glow: <TextBlock x:Name="UpdateAvailableLabel" Visibility="Collapsed" Margin="15,0,0,0" FontSize="12"> <TextBlock.BitmapEffect> <BitmapEffectGroup> <OuterGlowBitmapEffect x:Name="UpdateGlow" GlowColor="Red" GlowSize="3"/> </BitmapEffectGroup> </TextBlock.BitmapEffect> <Bold>Update Available - Visit Options to Update BabySmash!</Bold></TextBlock> Except the glow "pulses" between three colors and repeats forever. I set the DesiredFrameRate to a low number like 10 fps rather than what WPF will attempt, which is 60 fps! I'll post later how we can detect how awesome the user's hardware is and scale or turn off animations and effects. <Window.Resources> <Storyboard x:Key="Timeline1" Timeline.DesiredFrameRate="10"> <ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True" Storyboard.TargetName="UpdateGlow" Storyboard.TargetProperty="GlowColor" > <SplineColorKeyFrame Value="#FFCDCDCD" KeyTime="00:00:00"/> <SplineColorKeyFrame Value="#FFB92121" KeyTime="00:00:01"/> <SplineColorKeyFrame Value="#FF2921B9" KeyTime="00:00:02"/> </ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames> </Storyboard></Window.Resources><Window.Triggers> <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="FrameworkElement.Loaded"> <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource Timeline1}"/> </EventTrigger> <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="FrameworkElement.Loaded"/></Window.Triggers> Now I've got a nice passive FYI that there's an update. I want to show an update button when the user visits the Options Dialog, which brings me to my awesome volunteer designer Felix Corke (blog). If you want a great WPF or XAML designer, give Felix money. Here's my original Option Dialog: And here's the Felix version: Seriously. It hurts. Brings a tear to my eye. When the user needs to update, I'll do two things. First, there will be a button that says UPDATE! Second, after they've hit Update there will be a Progress Bar and that will update as the new version is download in the background. The API is surprisingly easy to use. We check to see if we were launched from the Network, then I check again (really not needed since I did it earlier, but I like to double-check) for an update. This isn't asynchronous, but it's fast. I setup two event handlers to listen to the UpdateProgress changing, and to get notification when the system has completed the download of the update. Then I fire off an asynchronous update. private void updateButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e){ if (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed) { ApplicationDeployment deployment = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment; if (deployment.CheckForUpdate()) { MessageBoxResult res = MessageBox.Show("A new version of the application is available, do you want to update? This will likely take a few minutes...", "BabySmash Updater", MessageBoxButton.YesNo); if (res == MessageBoxResult.Yes) { try { deployment.UpdateProgressChanged += deployment_UpdateProgressChanged; deployment.UpdateCompleted += deployment_UpdateCompleted; deployment.UpdateAsync(); } catch (Exception) { MessageBox.Show("Sorry, but an error has occurred while updating. Please try again or contact us a http://feedback.babysmash.com. We're still learning!", "BabySmash Updater", MessageBoxButton.OK); } } } else { MessageBox.Show("No updates available.", "BabySmash Updater"); } } else { MessageBox.Show("Updates not allowed unless you are launched through ClickOnce from http://www.babysmash.com!"); }} The ProgressChanged event is really convenient because it includes the percentage complete! One less thing for me to do. void deployment_UpdateProgressChanged(object sender, DeploymentProgressChangedEventArgs e){ this.updateProgress.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;} The Completed event is also fairly tidy (this one is simplified, and you could always use extra error handling. Note that since this was an asynchronous call, any exceptions that might have occurred elsewhere will show up here in the Error property of the AsyncCompletedEventArgs parameter. void deployment_UpdateCompleted(object sender, System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs e){ MessageBoxResult res2 = MessageBoxResult.None; if (e.Error == null) { res2 = MessageBox.Show("Update complete, do you want to restart the application to apply the update?", "Application Updater", MessageBoxButton.YesNo); } else { MessageBox.Show("Sorry, but an error has occured while updating. Please try again or contact us a http://feedback.babysmash.com. We're still learning!", "Application Updater", MessageBoxButton.OK); } if (res2 == MessageBoxResult.Yes) { System.Windows.Forms.Application.Restart(); }} I'll update this app to .NET 3.5 SP1 when it ships and I'll get a bunch of new features to make BabySmash! better like: Smaller Client Profile for machines without .NET on them. From like 75megs down to like 25megs with a 200k bookstrapper. Firefox Support for ClickOnce. Faster startup. More hardware accelerated effects in WPF. All in all, not much code for me to switch from an automatic ClickOnce Deployment that I had no control over to one I now have not only complete control over, but also one that fits in more nicely with our always improving UI. Also, an FYI, ClickOnce works with WinForms or WPF equally.

Is it a bump or a muscle?
January 11th, 2010
Hello Doctor, Thanks a ton for your advises, I have few more questions. 1. My penis doesn't get as hard as it used to be after erecting, I do understand that along with the time erection does decrease but I am only 25. I have been masturbating for last couple of years and I believe because of that my penis veins have been weak which doesn't support it to get hard erection.2 Sometimes I do get erection but sometimes I don't get erection even if I am watching porn I have to shake/rub my penis softly to get erection.3... Even if my penis is erected, I found it flaccid/loose from the left side and I feel that the left penis muscle/veins don't support my penis to erect. I feel that my penis right veins/muscles support/put pressure or force to get it erected but the right muscles/veins become passive and that's why I don't get hard erection. I don't know what to do and how to make it right. You are the one who can advise me completely in details, I would be very obliged. Thanks in advance.

Sexual Health - Men Answer A9108
Thank you for your question on ehealthforum.com
Your complaint of not getting hard enough erections happens from time to time. Your history suggests that you started alcohol intake recently. Sometimes excess alcohol consumption can affect the function of an erection.
If your erection is not hard enough and you find a difference between the two sides, observe any deviation and note any pain. Pain with deviation to one or the other side/ erect or straight can occur occasionally in a particular condition involving the penis.
Most men do not have a straight erection and it is very common for the erect penis to be slightly curved. Slight curving is very normal. If the deviation is of recent onset, and associated with pain, then it is very important to seek medical advice.
Erectile dysfunction is mainly due to psychological causes, it will usually get better with proper counseling. However, it is always essential to rule out any underlying medical problems, please consult your doctor initially for an examination and advice. Thank you.

I want to buy my own board, but i wanted to get some advice from some of the veterans in here. i found this package online for $279, which i thought was a pretty good deal: 155 cm Morrow Radium 2009 5150 Squadron 2009 Boots System Search 2010 Bindings I'm 5' 10" and 170 lbs Will this equipment be good for me knowing that i'm just making my jump from beginner to maybe intermediate?

The latest buzz is Valve might be creating games on the Wii U and it's because this time the Big N finally made a powerful console and if that is the case more mature games might be created on the Wii U (I still hate the name though!) and then most likely Nintendo might still be able to hold on to the top spot in the console wars.
(http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9080147) On my previous blog I mentioned that graphics serves a major role in games and that Nintendo should step up on their hardware, I guess they finally listened when fans (I'm one of them) were requesting for a powerful console that can produce great graphics. It's good that Nintendo is getting back on track doing the same strategy during the 16 bit days when they released the Super Famicom which was more advanced then the Sega Genesis which resulted in game companies creating more great games on the SNES.
Okay Nintendo was quite sneaky in banning other game companies from releasing their games on other consoles but when the ban was lifted they still favored the SNES by 3:1 in releasing their games.
It's true when they say that what's the point of having a powerful console if it doesn't have any great games but it's also true that some games especially the great ones these days can only run on powerful consoles or for it to be available on a weaker console some features will be needed to be taken out and that sucks because all or most of us wants to get the complete game.
Nintendo... bring back the hardcore days, bring back the mature games, and bring back the great graphics and sounds and in the end it might be another SNES success story all over again but this time with the Wii U.
Wii U it's time to man up!

Did someone say Man Up? lol Everyone who plays any of Nintendo's games have always wanted to see Mario, Metroid, and Zelda in HD, and looks like Ninty has finally listened to us. Of course I always wanted to see them in HD, and glad Nintendo has finally stepped up, we can all say finally. Although I don't mind how powerful the console itself is, I just care about the games it's going to have. I just hope it get's great third-party support, something Nintendo's consoles lacked for a long time.
Console Wars!!!
Posted: Jun 25, 2011 12:00AM PST by Sciaa
As long as modern game console have online capabilities and supports independent open-source game development codes, it can win. The old days when only a limited number of companies can develop games for a gaming system will soon be gone.
Sorry, those are the only decent stuff in my mind at the moment LOL

Can you imagine having a tree house in a hospital? A 205,000-square-foot vertical expansion of the SUNY Upstate Medical University's Golisano Children's Hospital in Syracuse, NY, provided that opportunity.
The Pike Company took on this expansion project, which takes the hospital from 6 to 12 stories. It created a state-of-the-art, family-centered patient care facility. Patients and families ride in a glass-enclosed express elevator to the Pediatric Center (known as the "Tree House").
The Tree House is an out-of-this-world annex to the hospital's East Tower, featuring imaginative spaces for kids and families. From the bright and friendly crayon colors to the fiber-optic art on the walls, it's clear that this space was designed for the patients.

Drinking And Driving Drill Staged At Local School
Castleford, Idaho ( KMVT-TV / KSVT-TV ) Local high school students are learning what can happen should they choose to drink and drive.
The Twin Falls Police Department, in conjunction with the Twin Falls County Sheriff's Office, gave students in Castleford a real life demonstration on the procedures they go through while on the scene of a drunk driving call. Students also took part in the Every 15 Minutes program, where every 15 minutes students experience what it's like to lose a classmate to drunk driving. Sergeant Dan Thom hopes the drill will save lives. "To bring it home, put it in their face, and show them that it can actually happen to them, is kind of an eye opener. That's the goal we're trying to work at here. Open their eyes, see if they can make a change in their life. If they just don't drive under the influence, that's the success for us today," he explains. This is the first year this live demonstration has taken place in Castleford. Both agencies even had one of the fake victims life flighted via a St. Luke's Hospital helicopter. Students also attended an assembly where a representative from MADD - Mothers Against Drunk Driving - talked about how drinking and driving has impacted her life. |

To improve the health outcomes of Georgians through promotion of quality nutrition care practice by assisting qualified employees of the Georgia Department of Public Health to become Registered Dietitians.
Community Rotation Description
Food Service Rotation Description
The program concentration for the GDPH Dietetic Internship is Community Nutrition/Public Health, which includes 1,200 hours of dietetic internship experiences: 504 hours in community nutrition, public health research, life-cycle and health promotion; 504 hours in medical nutrition therapy; and 192 hours in food service.
The Dietetic Internship Program provides an opportunity for employees of the Georgia Department of Public Health and our contracted WIC agency at Grady Hospital who have met the admission requirements for Registered Dietitian (RD) eligibility, to complete the Core Competencies for Dietitians (CD) through supervised practices. Interns should be released from employment responsibilities for a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours per week. This time will allow interns to participate in planned program experiences to achieve basic competencies.
Emphasis is placed on the development of competence in providing nutrition services as integral parts of health programs, especially public health programs. Individualized study permits interns to achieve professional development goals. Program flexibility provides opportunity for meeting individual needs and interests.
Self-Assessment and faculty evaluation assist in improving practice and professional development. A base is provided for lifelong self-development to improve knowledge and skills.
The staff of the Georgia Department of Public Health, Maternal and Child Health Program, Nutrition and WIC Section and participating Health Districts are committed to assisting those interns/employees who wish to overcome financial, geographical, or personal barriers in order to become registered through the Commission of Dietetics Registration.
Interns who successfully complete the GDPH Dietetic Internship and obtain registration are encouraged to serve as mentors and preceptors for future GDPH Dietetic Interns
The Dietetic Internship Program's primary goal is to achieve improved health outcomes of Georgians through the promotion of quality nutrition care practice. This will be accomplished by workforce development aimed at increasing the number of Registered and Licensed Dietitians of currently employed nutritionists.
The Georgia Department of Public Health Dietetic Internship is accrediated by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (www.eatright.org/ACEND), 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606-6995, (312)889-0040 ext 5400.

What Would King Have Said About Saddam?
Is the enemy of the anti-war movement Saddam Hussein, or President Bush?
Martin Luther King Jr. once said of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the martyred World War II pastor, "if your opponent has a conscience, then follow Gandhi. But if you enemy has no conscience, like Hitler, then follow Bonhoeffer."
As was the case so many times on so many controversial issues, King spoke eloquently to the issue of when, if ever, violence was justified. Bonhoeffer--Lutheran theologian, ethicist, and pastor--had once been a pacifist. However, confronted by the relentless evil that was Hitler and the Nazis, he joined the resistance, including their plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. Arrested by the Gestapo, Bonhoeffer was executed by hanging at Flossenberg concentration camp one month before Germany's surrender in 1945.
After the war, Bonhoeffer's fame and influence grew, undergirded by the fact that he lived out his belief in "costly grace" and direct confrontation with political evil. His martyrdom underscored the authenticity of his message. Bonhoeffer's legacy impacted millions of people in the last half of the 20th century, including King.
As Bonhoeffer, and evidently King, came to understand, when your enemy has a basic moral structure which can be appealed to, and a conscience that can be troubled--as with Gandhi and the British in India, and King and racially segregated America--then disciplined non-violent disobedience and demonstration against injustice must be the morally superior path. However, when your enemy, in his implacable evil, has no conscience, then violence may be permissible and necessary.
With Saddam Hussein, we are dealing with a sadomasochistic sociopath who has murdered his way to absolute power. His hero is Joseph Stalin, a man who rivals Hitler in the annals of perpetrators of monstrous evil. Hussein has used weapons of mass destruction against his neighbors and his own people. He has ignored and defied United Nations resolutions and continues to subject his people to the privations from UN sanctions in his attempt to conceal present versions, and to acquire ever more deadly models, of weapons of mass destruction.
I ask those who demonstrate and protest this potential war to contemplate this question. Is their opponent President Bush or Saddam Hussein? If their opponent is Bush, then protest peacefully, because he has a conscience to which they may appeal as Gandhi did against the British Raj and King did against segregationists. But if the enemy is a conscience-less Hussein--as I believe he is-then, like Bonhoeffer, do we not have a moral imperative to use force to oppose such evil?

The paper describes the design and control of a novel spherical permanent magnet actuator which is capable of two-degrees-freedom and a high specific torque. Based on an analytical actuator model, an optimal design procedure is developed to yield maximum output torque or maximum system acceleration for a given payload. The control of the actuator, whose dynamics are similar to those of robotic manipulators, is facilitated by the establishment of a complete actuation system model. A robust control law is applied, and its effectiveness is demonstrated by computer simulation

What I think I will most likely remember from Psych 1001 in 5 years is the chapter on personality. I really enjoyed the activity we did in class about this chapter and that we got the opportunity to get in groups, different from our usual ones, and solve a problem. It was interesting to see the different methods that the groups took to come up with ideas based on the different personalities.
Another thing I liked and will remember from this chapter is topic of birth order and does it matter? I found this to be very interesting and easy to relate to. Reading about this make me think about my brother and I, and if all the hypothesis out there were true in our case.
Overall, there are several things I have seen just this semester in my daily life that relate to Psych 1001. I have a much deeper understanding for certain topics, mostly those that interest me more. Personality is huge in the real world now. Whether you are making new friends, dealing with old ones or trying to get a job, personality is key. I can use personality in my future when applying for jobs. Many companies look for someone who will be the right "fit" into their company and they look for that in our personalities; therefore, knowing how you react or don't react to things can be very beneficial when looking for a place of employment or even a school to know if you ARE their "fit".
I also really enjoyed the discussion section on personality. I thought it was interesting to see everyone split up into groups where our personalities were similar and see how we got the task done. It'll be handy in the future knowing the different aspects of personality and how you can work with people of other personality types.

Reus to miss Faroes clash
By Football News
Borussia Dortmund forward Marco Reus will not feature in Germany's FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Faroe Islands on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old was substituted for Julian Draxler in Friday's 3-0 win over Austria, assisting Toni Kroos' goal at the Allianz Arena.
However, he is suffering from gastroenteritis and will return to Dortmund for treatment.
A statement from the Deutscher Fussball-Bund read: "Marco Reus will not fly with the German national team to the Faroe Islands.
"The 24-year-old (is) suffering from a gastrointestinal infection."
Germany remain unbeaten in Group C, having won six and drawn one of their seven matches, and can qualify for Brazil 2014 with a win, if Sweden fail to beat Kazakhstan in Astana.
Lars Olsen Faroe Islands side, conversely, have lost all seven of their qualifiers.

Visual Marketing's Secret Weapon
Visual marketing is big right now. Pinterest has recently launched business accounts, Twitter is including images in searches, and photos on Facebook are liked 53% more often than other content. If you're doing any marketing online, you're looking to trade in those thousands of words for some pictures right about now. Traditionally you have two choices:
Stock photos are a good way to add visual appeal, but try to avoid the done-to-death shots of people shaking hands, looking puzzled, or huddling intently around a laptop. And, of course, if you have the time and interest, you can always take your own photos.
When done right, creative and appealing infographics are great for presenting complicated information clearly. But as they've grown in popularity they've very quickly become genericized, overused, and less effective.
So now you're stuck. You need to take advantage of visual marketing and want to differentiate yourself visually, but how to do that when everyone is working with the same basic tools. Some savvy marketers are aware of a third option – a sort of visual secret weapon that's both familiar and underutilized...
You see them often, and you probably even follow a few, but maybe you haven't considered using them. You should. Whether it's an endearing mascot like SEOmoz's Roger mozBot, a regular feature like Small Business Trends' Friday comics, or most everything about Hugh MacLeod's gapingvoid, cartoons are visual marketing's secret weapon.
So what makes cartoons so uniquely useful? They offer several distinct advantages over other visuals:
I like to think of cartoons as extremely short stories. You've got setting, characters, dialogue, and plot. It's amazing how much information can be delivered and understood in one picture with a sentence or two. And because that content is succinct, visual, and humorous, it's more easily recalled.
Reading a cartoon is like unwrapping a present. You have some idea as to the possibilities, but then again, there could be anything in there! Dogs in lab coats? Writing equations? What's going on? What are they doing? A reader will want to know the answer and will happily linger to find out.
Why do people post cartoons in the break room? Why do people pin them on Pinterest? You often hear people say things like "This cartoon is so you!" or "Boy, is that me!" People take a kind of ownership of cartoons, seeing themselves and others in them, and then can't help but share them.
So the next time you're uploading a photo, or looking for another infographic, consider using a cartoon. By taking advantage of cartoons' stories, surprise, and shareability, your visual marketing will be a sight to see.

Great article Kent! Right on the money on the cartoon side: ability to quickly tell a story, easy to share and memorable. Most of us also enjoy a good chuckle, especially one that is easily shared with anyone --- where we don't have to worry about who might see it and be offended. Thanks for sharing.

Considering you can get a Micro USB cable for 2 bucks might be a good thing to pick up, if you ever lose your lightning cable.
Does this mean they could have just made the jack on the device micro usb instead of the proprietary lightning jack they are forcing on everybody?
of course they could have...i don't have any issues with the lightning connector though...i prefer it.
You sound defensive.
1 recommendation
Well just think, if they didn't make the lightening porn you would've gotten a micro usb connection for $2. Now you get to 'donate' $30 per apple adapter, or $19 for micro usb adaptor...
I meant to say lightening PORT, not lightening PORN. I can't believe nobody called me out on my typo lol..
I can't believe nobody called me out on my typo lol..
if a $25 connector is holding you back from getting a great device you should enjoy for a couple of years (and utilizing a cell plan likely in the $50-$75/month, which could be a further $1200+ dollars over the course of 2 years), then i don't know what else to say, other than, it seems silly...so, if you bought a device with a MiniUSB a few years ago, did you make a big stink when it went to MicroUSB??...what about in 2 years when it goes to NanoUSB...then PicoUSB...then TurboUSB4Ti...just because MicroUSB is "standard" now, doesn't mean it will be in a couple of years...Lightning is different...so you might spend $20 on a cable instead of $2 (for some cheap knock-off that likely won't last long anyway), after investing perhaps $2000 over the course of 2 years, who cares about a $20 adapter??...seriously?
This is Apple arrogance at it's best.
This is Apple arrogance at it's best. Had Apple offered the adapters for a reasonable price I think there would be less frustration out there.
it is a "smart connector"

Titans interview former Colts coach Caldwell for top job
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
Tennessee's search for a new coach has taken a turn to an old foe with the Titans interviewing Jim Caldwell.
The Titans confirmed Wednesday that they had completed an interview with Caldwell, the former Indianapolis Colts coach and current Baltimore Ravens' offensive coordinator.
The team plane picked Caldwell up in Baltimore on Wednesday morning and was scheduled to return to Baltimore late Wednesday afternoon.
Caldwell, 58, also has interviewed with the Washington Redskins and the Detroit Lions.
He spent a decade with Indianapolis first as quarterbacks coach in Indianapolis with Peyton Manning. He replaced Tony Dungy as coach in 2009, and they reached the Super Bowl his first season only to lose to New Orleans in February 2010. He finished 26-22 in his three seasons before being fired in January 2012.
Caldwell joined Baltimore as quarterbacks coach in February 2012 working with Joe Flacco before being promoted to offensive coordinator before the Ravens went on to win the Super Bowl. The Ravens struggled this season finishing 29th in total offense and 30th running the ball.
The Titans are one of five NFL teams still looking for a new coach after firing Mike Munchak after three seasons on Saturday. Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden interviewed with Tennessee on Tuesday, and Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer reportedly is set to interview with the Titans on Thursday. The Titans' team plane had a flight plan filed to head to Cincinnati's airport in northern Kentucky after leaving Baltimore on Wednesday night.
This is only the team's second coaching search since leaving Texas for Tennessee in 1997, and the first conducted by Webster. Tennessee went 7-9 this season extending a playoff drought to five straight years with the last postseason win back in January 2003.

thank you!!
I'm so sorry you're having a tough time, but things will get better! My first child was EXTREMELY fussy, especially at night. My husband and I spent many sleepless nights passing our screaming baby back and forth, trying to nurse her, rock her, swaddle her, anything that would help. Unfortunately none of it helped for more than a short time and we spent two exhausting months trying EVERYTHING! My husband was out of town during month 3 and by the time he came back she was fine. I remember him asking if he should take the first shift with her and I looked at him like he was crazy. He was so surprised that she didn't cry all night anymore. It's amazing how quickly things can change.
I also have a bit of an oversupply issue. With my newborn, he is often fussy, but nothing like my daughter. I try to feed him on only one breast at a time, but he's very strong willed and will sometimes cry until I give him the second breast. One thing that seems to be working with him is Cranial Sacral Therapy. He's definitely spitting up and fussing a lot less. My daughter unfortunately was too fussy to even get through one session of that, but it's worth a try if you have a good practitioner near you.
I never had any luck with pacifiers either and I think they will only hurt your oversupply issue. Just be patient with your baby and yourself and you'll get through it. Eating is so important! And if you can get a few hours of sleep here and there, that will help too.
Hi Sara,
I deeply appreciate your response. I notice she is becoming less fussy as I'm learning her. I'm still blocking to manage milk. I would LOVE to try cranial sacral therapy. I'm in Augusta ga, so not sure they have a practitioner. Just moved her in March so still discovering what's here. I miss NYC! lol
anyhoo, have a wonderful weekend!
That's great that she's fussing less! Hopefully it will soon be a distant memory.
Also, if you're interested, I found this website that has a database of CranioSacral (misspelled it before) practitioners and it looks like there's one in Augusta:
We had a really great session today with Cranio for our little one, so I highly recommend it if you can.
Enjoy your weekend too!
thank you!
did this help you? I think this is my problem too!

The fourth night of my New York City trip I was planning to meet an old friend and when she asked what I was craving, I admitted that I had not yet had a slice of New York pizza!
With that in mind, she recommended we meet at a place called Patsy's Pizzeria. The restaurant is located at the corner of 60th Street and 3rd Avenue.
I spotted Patsy's by its glowing neon sign.
You take a few steps down and under a green awning to enter the restaurant.
We were seated right away and handed menus by the hostess.
The menu was simple - starters, salads, pizza and pasta. We wanted to order the fried zucchini and eggplant with yogurt dipping sauce to start, but our waitress told us the fried veggies were very greasy and that she wouldn't recommend it. We dodged a bullet there!
In the end we decided to share the arugula salad. The plate was very simple and rather disappointing. Though there was a large pile of greens, there were only two parmesan cheese shavings and a pinch of sun dried tomatoes.
Post-salad we shared a large pizza with mushrooms. As I mentioned, I was having a wicked New York City pizza craving so I was ready to chomp right into a slice.
Sadly, this pizza was a total let down. The crust was overcooked, it wasn't cheesy enough and the mushrooms didn't taste fresh. Boo!
Now I know what you are thinking, "Poor, Molly. All she wanted was a slice of New York pizza." Fear not! After the ho hum dinner my friend suggested we visit a New York institution across the street, Serendipity.
For those who have never been to Serendipity, it's a whimsically decorated cafe best known for its frozen hot chocolate and outrageous ice cream sundae creations.
I had been to Serendipity a few times in high school, but it had been over 10 years since my last visit. When my friend suggested we cap the night there, I couldn't resist!
In the past I've waited over an hour for a table, but that night we only had to wait a few minutes. We were led to a table for two on the second floor of the restaurant and our cheery waiter popped over to ask if we had any questions. I never realized that Serendipity served savory food! They have two full pages of breakfast, lunch and dinner items, none of which we were interested in. Ha!
Though we both knew the dessert portions were massive, we couldn't settle on just one confection so we agreed to tackle two.
My pick was one of the evening's specials, the frozen mint chocolate. Look at this!
It tasted like an icy Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie. It was brain freeze inducing heaven!
My friend couldn't resist her usual choice, the Forbidden Broadway sundae.
This sundae is black out cake, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. Check out that piece of cake sticking out of the side of the dish!
When our waiter put these two dishes down we were stunned into silence. The two young men sitting at the table next to us looked over and in unison they blurted out, "Whoa!" Yup. We went there.
Both Serendipity desserts were exceptional and completely wiped away the memory of the disappointing meal at Patsy's.
For my next trip, what is your favorite pizza place in New York City?

Jurgen Klopp's side were handed a draw of Real Madrid, Manchester City and Ajax, and the official has urged the coach's players to step up to the plate this time around
Hans-Joachim Watzke has challenged the Borussia Dortmund squad to become 'heroes' in the Champions League this season.The German champions were drawn in Group D alongside Real Madrid, Ajax and Manchester City - all winners of their respective leagues - as they look to avoid another group-stage exit.
However, the general manager believes his side will be more than capable of springing a surprise, should they put in the right performance.
"This is an incredibly difficult but also incredibly attractive group with three Champions League winners and the English champions," Watzke remarked to the club's official website.
"All four teams are national champions. In such a group, heroes are born. We want to progress."
Meanwhile, BVB captain Sebastian Kehl voiced his excitement at being given the opportunity to play in Spain and England in the coming campaign, but admitted he had hoped for an easier draw.
"This is a crazy group. We could not have drawn any teams harder than Madrid and City," he noted.
"Of course it's great to play in to play at the Bernabeu or on English soil, but honestly I would have hoped for an easier draw."

She's not getting the fuel captain! Check fuel pressure with an inline gauge. Look for about 5-7psi. Fuel filter plugged or pump pooped. Let me know what you find. Also bad fuel would do it. But its fuel.
Maybe whack the top of the carb with a rubber mallet while it is running. Could be a stuck float but it isn't smoking so I doubt it. Timing chain jumped? I doubt it but hey check timing could show it. I'm still saying fuel.
Fuel filter is new aswell it was fine and drive able for a few days it had 3/4tank of fresh 89oct gas... Pulled carb to find lil varnish in the jets so I cleaned the entire carb out an it was good for a few days again then one morning I wake up to this... Carb is still clean and I've added fuel cleaner and varnish remover to the tank

NEW YORK, NY (BRAIN) — A U.S. District Court judge has ruled in favor of Hydrapak in a patent infringement case filed last August by Vagabond Source Systems, an Israeli supplier of water reservoirs for personal hydration packs.
In a 10-page order published last Wednesday, Judge Coleen McMahon issued a summary judgment and dismissed the case due to lack of merit. At question was the slide-seal closure used in Hydrapak's Reversible Reservoir, which Vagabond claimed infringed on its patent for its Widepac water reservoir, sold since 2001. One of Vagabond's early buyers is the U.S. Marine Corp, which began buying the system in 2004.
Vagabond also claimed Hydrapak falsely marketed its system as "patent pending." Vagabond was seeking at least $500 in damages for each of Hydrapak's violations.
"We feel passionately about our intellectual property and innovation efforts, and the findings of the United States District Court are validation of our work," said Matt Lyon, Hydrapak's CEO. "We are glad to put this lawsuit behind us and continue to do what we do best—provide superior hydration systems for Hydrapak's enthusiasts around the globe."
Lyon said Hydrapak was awarded its own patent on its closure method last year.
The hearing to determine the amount of sanctions to be awarded to Hydrapak has been referred to the Hon. James L. Cott, United States Magistrate Judge.
Hydrapak prevails in patent suit

Assuring the public that no genuine ration card would be cancelled during the drive to cancel bogus cards, Animal Husbandry Minister K. Parthasarathy said that if any genuine beneficiaries lost their ration cards, they could bring the same to the notice of the Grama Sabha and get back their card, during the drive.
Participating in Prajapatham programme at Tadigadapa village on the city outskirts, Mr. Parthasarathy said that the programme was aimed at solving the local problems on the spot and taking up development works at the village level.
Water supply
He said that Rs. 12 lakhs would be spent on developing Tadigadapa village and priority would be given to works like drinking water supply and addressing the low-voltage problem. He asked the officials to install 100 KV sub-station in the village within two weeks from now and the drinking water problem by spending Rs. 20 lakh within one month from now. Vice-chairperson of the Krishna Zilla Parishad T. Padmavathi, additional Joint Collector Shamsher Ahmed and others were present.

Philly offered Weber a 14yr/100m+ offer sheet, and Weber accepted. Preds have exactly 7 days to match. This is the worst-case scenario for the Preds. Under the current CBA, if a team matches an offer sheet, they can't trade that player for 1 year. So basically, the Preds can't trade Weber anymore. Either they match the offer sheet, or let him walk. If they let him walk, the Preds will receive 4 first-round picks in compensation. Essentially, Weber just screwed over Nashville. Poile has a tough decision to make.
A year ago when I started following the Preds more, I thought I jumped on the bandwagon at the perfect time. I was wrong. Without Suter, the Preds can still be good. Without Suter and Weber, the Preds will suck. But the 4 first round picks could turn out to be the future of the team. I bet they let him walk. It's a tough call when you're dealing with that kind of money. When the hell did hockey players start getting paid this much?
oh nice hockey talk!, i hope the Preds match the offer sheet. I'm a huge NYR fan so I'd rather not see his booming slapshot 6 times a year. Plus I think your team is headed in the right direction. Isn't it a no brainer to match the offer?
The preds will match. They had 3 first round picks when they got Weber, Suter, and Klein. We see how that's played out. We have to match
I disagree fully. Losing two of the best d-man in the NHL hurts, no doubt. But you have to remember, the Preds have the best defense prospects in the NHL. Poile is a mastermind when it comes to spotting a talented defenseman, and guys like Blum and Ellis can easily take over without too much damage being done. We've got the same team we had last year, minus Suter and the two party boys (Rads and AK46). If Weber stays, great. If he leaves, chances are (from what I have heard), the Preds and Philly would make some sort of trade, not involving Weber, that would send some top-6 fowards to Nashville. It's sort of a....respect thing.....that these GM's have with each other. Poile and Holmgren(Flyers GM) are great friends.

Motion Sickness (cont.) IN THIS ARTICLEMotion Sickness Symptoms
Patient Comment
Read 1 Comment
Motion sickness can occur during any type of movement that is unintentional. Car sickness, seasickness, and air sickness are examples of motion sickness. Complex types of movement, especially slow movement or movement in two different directions (such as up and down plus back and forth) at the same time (commonly the movements of a boat in rough water) are most likely to cause motion sickness. The primary symptom of motion sickness is nausea. Vomiting and dizziness may also occur. Other common signs are sweating, increased salivation, and a general feeling of discomfort and not feeling well (malaise). The severity of motion sickness can vary widely, even in the same individual on different days. In the majority of cases, the symptoms stop when the motion stops, although some people may experience symptoms for up to a few days after an episode of motion sickness.

Our "Emmaus" prayer for you this Easter
By Bill Maier, Co-host of The Morning Show
One of my favorite parts of the Easter story is "The Road to Emmaus" from the Gospel of Luke. Luke tells us that on that first Easter morning, two of Jesus' followers were traveling from Jerusalem to a place called Emmaus.
These two disciples "were talking with each other about the things that had happened." In the middle of their conversation, an amazing thing occurred—Jesus Himself came up and walked alongside them, but they were kept from recognizing Him.
The stranger (Jesus) asked them, "What were you two discussing together as you walked along?" With downcast faces, they described the crucifixion and their dashed hopes that Jesus would be the one who would redeem Israel. They also shared the rumors they had heard about an empty tomb and angels appearing to a group of women.
My friend, Jim Singleton at Gordon Conwell Seminary, points out that although the travelers to Emmaus knew a lot about Jesus, they weren't ready to believe in His resurrection. Even after He showed them that all the Old Testament prophecies about Him had been fulfilled, they still weren't ready to accept that He had risen from the dead.
Something about the stranger's words prompted the two disciples to invite Him into their home to eat with them. As Jesus took the bread, broke it, and blessed it, their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. Jesus immediately disappeared, and they asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
The Emmaus travelers were transformed by their encounter with the risen Christ. They raced back to Jerusalem, found the apostles, and shared the remarkable news that Jesus was indeed alive! Our hope is that you will experience the same type of excitement this Easter.
And my prayer is that your heart will "burn within you" with a renewed sense of hope and joy, and that you will be empowered to share the Good News of Christ's resurrection with those around you. Happy Easter from all of us at KSBJ!
